Many people’s endings in the crypto world are quite similar—accounts shrink all the way down, leaving only despair. But is there really no chance to turn things around? Not necessarily.

Recently, I heard about a trader whose account was down to only 3000U, basically losing faith in the market. Later, he stuck to a certain method for 30 days, and the situation started to reverse. The key to this method isn’t some secret to soaring to the sky, but rather teaching people how to survive in the crypto world—by making fewer fatal mistakes.

**There are always opportunities in the crypto world, but our capital isn’t unlimited. Surviving is the only way to talk about wealth growth.**

**Position Sizing Management: The Survival Bottom Line**

Divide 1500U into three parts, each 500U, each with its own role:

**Trading Funds (500U)** — Mainly used for intraday operations. No more than two trades per day, and exit immediately if stop-loss is hit. Many people fall into traps here: overtrading. Essentially, this portion of money is meant to maintain a sense of the market, not to go all-in in one shot. Frequent operations only accelerate capital consumption.

**Opportunity Funds (500U)** — Waiting for confirmed trend opportunities. This money stays idle until a weekly chart shows an upward signal. Retail traders’ most common mistake is running out of ammunition too early. When a real opportunity arrives, the account is already empty. The saying “wait for the rabbit to appear before shooting” is especially applicable in crypto.

**Risk Reserve (500U)** — This is the last line of defense for survival, only used when the account faces liquidation risk. It’s like a reserve team on the battlefield. Many people put all their chips in at once, only to be wiped out by a market fluctuation, leaving no chance to turn things around.

The fundamental logic of position sizing is simple: the market is full of uncertainties, and no one can predict prices precisely. By layering your layout, you can seize opportunities without being eliminated all at once. This is the wisdom of survival amid uncertainty.
